Whose Little Girl
w 1 y
Oh whose little girl can this be I
wonder
Will nobody tell me before I blunder
Her hair is lied with a Huffy bow
And mother has fixed up her curls just
so
All dressed In her best with her now
soos under
Oh whose little girl can she be I wonder
Has anyone lost such a bit of sweetness
A wee honey bun oh all curls and neat
ness
Her eyes arc the brown of the maples
gleam
Deep down in tho depths of an Autumn
stream
Im sure if shes lost there are hearts
asunder
Oh whoso little girl can she be I won
der
Her lips are the souls of two pure red
roses
When dew on the tips of their bloom re
poses
The ring to her laughter is Clios art
And conies from a gay little sugar heart
Her mouth it was made by the angels
fingers
Just right well to give you a kiss that
lingers
Oh whose little girl can she be I won
der
With eyes all a dance and the dimples
under
Whats that Oh you say you are
daddys dirl
And mammas too tause your hair s in
turl
Well well I can scarcely believe your
story
I thought you a bud from the fields of
glory
I thought with your tangle of curls and
dimples
With light in your eyes like the sun
kissed whimples
I thought you a bloom from the meadowed
sky
A bit of the heaven from way up high
And mamma and papa what blest com
pleteness
To own such a rare little bunch of
sweetness

Chicken Feed Philosophy
The good deeds we do are the jewels
in the diadem of today
rV ft ft
Our ambitions like the stars are
ever too high to be entirely reached
ft ft
few sunrises the majority of us
see and yet a sunrise is one of the
prettiest of Natures pictures
ft ft ft
Many a woman turns on the light
during an electrical storm hoping to
see the lightnings bolt in time to
dodge it
ft ft ft
One star does not light the heavens
but a myriad of stars illuminate the
dome into a canopy of beauty One
man alone is weak but mankind
strong in unison are the light of the
world
0
Sighs
When a woman sighs and looks
If she pleases you beware
This is leap year and she may
Pop the question so take care
--
Line for Line
Dark skies dark thoughts
The modern trusts are the slave
drivers of today
The slanderer and the dog poisoner
lie down together
I like a man who sleeps well He Is
sure to be good natured
No man should pay more than an
honest profit for what he eats and
wears More than this is usury
--
Flashes of Thought
Silence betrays no man
ft ft ft
No one can sin and escape payment
ft ft ft
Tbe man who smiles has half the
battle won
ft ft ft
Everybody loves the man who sings
at his work
ft ft
It is easy to be brave when one
courts death
ft ft ft
Sorrowr shows us more truths than
all the books
ft ft
is noble to be silent when you are
angry enough to quarrel
ft ft ft
Sound is the bow that plays upon
the strings of our hearts
ft ft ft
The size of the house has nothing
to do with the amount of love in it
ft ft ft
The stars are ever a continual source
of interest to one who studies their
mysteries
